Window tinting in Fl

Planning on placing 35% on front two windows and 20% back seat windows and rear. Is there a major contrast with the front seat and backseat windows or is it better to go 35% all around? and just 20% in the rear window?

Also the window tint company uses LUmar? I've read some horror stories and wanted to know if its safe to go ahead being this car may be somewhat difficult to get done...

Being charged 150 for all...

They do not remove the doorpanels and do not use moleskin?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

I think it is just a matter of taste. I prefer the front and rear windows to have the same % tint. Do you have the Navi?

The manual says to avoid full throttle starts for the first 600 miles, brakes are 200 miles to break in. The salesman at my dealer told me to not worry about all that and simply to not exceed 75MPH and do not use the cruise for the first 850. I am trying to do both, but the full throttle start thing is kind of hard to avoid, *L*. I keep it within 4k RPM.

Being that I work in clearwater, there's a place on gulf to bay called magicar south of 19 by Keene i think. They only wash wax and tint. They've done my honda accord in the past and use Lumar tint and did a good job. I can let you know the results and will post a pic when done...

Maybe he'll be able to give me 20% all around if not i will go with 35% in the front(legal) and rear seats and 20% in the back window....
